Using the building blocks in the preparation of the coordination
compounds, allows the assembly of complex molecules, which by
straightforward pathway synthesis is more difficult. Bis-dioxime
blocks of synthesis with a water molecule in axial position, due
to its liability are a successful start point for obtaining new mate-
rials, through substitution by various ligands. Often the relative lia-
bility of such group may be a major drawback to the use of this
method [7].
The introduction of various organic molecules in metal com-
plexes as ligands can significantly change their properties.
In this paper we describe the synthesis and properties of
L = 2,4-pentanedione isonicotinoyl hydrazone (1) and its complexes
with dioximates of a trivalent Co metal ion: [Co(DfgH)2BrL] (2) and
[Co(DmgH)2ClL0] (3), where DfgH2 = diphenylglyoxime, DmgH =
dimethylglyoxime and L0 represents the dehydrated derivative of L.
spectrometer in Vaseline in the range of 4000–400 cmꢁ1 and ATR in
the range of 4000–650 cmꢁ1. Melting points were measured in a
Boethius melting point apparatus and were uncorrected.
2.4. Crystal data for 1–3
Crystal dimensions for 1–3 are 0.30 ꢂ 0.10 ꢂ 0.10 mm,
0.20 ꢂ 0.15 ꢂ 0.10 mm and 0.25 ꢂ 0.10 ꢂ 0.10 mm respectively.
Experimental data for 1 and 2 were collected on an Xcalibur CCD
-axis diffractometer and a graphite monochromator using Mo K
radiation. Experimental data for 3 were collected on a Nonius Kap-
pa CCD diffractometer with graphite monochromated Mo K radi-
a
a
ation. Frames for 3 were integrated and corrected for Lorentz and
polarization effects using DENZO [8]. The scaling, as well as the
global refinement of crystal parameters, was performed by SCALE-
PACK [8]. The absorption correction was introduced by a semi-
empirical method from symmetry equivalent reflections [9]. Final
unit cell dimensions for 1–3 were obtained and refined on an entire
data set. All calculations necessary to solve the structures and to re-
fine the proposed model were carried out with the SHELX program
[10]. The non-hydrogen atoms were treated anisotropically (full-
matrix least squares method on F2). The carbon bounded H atoms
were placed in calculated positions and were treated using a riding
model approximations with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), while the oxygen
bounded H-atoms were found from differential Fourier maps at
an intermediate stage of the refinement, and their positions were
constrained using the AFIX 83 instruction in SHELX for oxime and
hydroxyl groups. These hydrogen atoms were refined with the iso-
tropic displacement parameter Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The X-ray data
and the details of the refinement for 1–3 are summarized in Table 1,
the selected geometric parameters are presented in Table 2, and
hydrogen-bonding geometry is given in Table 3.

2.2. Syntheses of ligand and complexes
2.2.1. Preparation of the Schiff base L (1)
2,4-pentanedione isonicotinoylhydrazone (L) was prepared by
reacting isonicotinic hydrazide (0.012 mol, 1.5 g) dissolved in
7 ml of C2H5OH with 2,4-pentanedione (0.045 mol, 1.1 ml) in 1:1
molar ratio. The reaction mixture was heated at 65 °C for 15 min.
White crystals formed after 4 days. The crystals were separated
by filtration, washed with ethanol and diethyl ether. Yield 1.16 g,

3. Results and discussion
Condensation of isonicotinic hydrazide and 2,4-pentanedione in
a molar ratio of 1: 1 resulted in the formation of a novel V-shaped
organic ligand L (1) that consists of two cycles, the six-membered
pyridine, and the five-membered hydroxyl-and-dimethyl-substi-
tuted diazole one joined via a carbonyl bridge (Scheme 1). An anal-
ogous cyclization was observed for the formation of pyrazoles by
condensation of various 1,3-diketones and hydrazines, acylhydra-
zines or sulfonyl hydrazines, described in [11].
During the condensation, one azomethine C@N bond and CAN
bonds between each carbonyl groups of 2,4-pentanedione and
isonicotinic hydrazide NH2A and ANHA group were formed. One
water molecule saturated the double bond ACH@C(CH3)A of
2,4-pentanedione fragment, so the addition of one hydroxyl group
at the carbon atom >C(CH3)A took place. The ligand was isolated as
air-stable white needle-like crystals which are soluble in chloro-
form, DMF, dimethylsulfoxide, ethanol, and methanol, and low
soluble in water, hexane, and diethyl ether (melting point 131–
133 °C).
2.2.2. Preparation of the complexes
[Co(DfgH)2BrL] (2) was prepared by reacting [Co(DfgH)2Br(H2-
O)] (0.001 mol, 0.64 g) dissolved under heating in 30 ml of a
CH3OH:H2O mixture (1:1) with L (0.001 mol, 0.23 g) dissolved in
20 ml CH3OH. The resulting mixture was heated at 70 °C for
10 min, and then the brown solution was filtered and left for slow
evaporation at room temperature. The brown needle-like crystals
were separated by filtration. Yield: 0.46 g, 55%. Anal. Found: Co,
6.84; C, 55.67; H, 4.05; N, 11.61. Calc. for C39H35N7O6CoBr (fw
836.26): Co, 7.04; C, 55.99; H, 4.21; N, 11.72.
[Co(DmgH)2ClL0]
(3)
was
prepared
by
reacting
[Co(DmgH)2Cl(H2O)] (0.001 mol, 0.34 g) dissolved under heating
in 20 ml of a mixture of CH3OH:H2O (1:1) with L (0.001 mol,
0.23 g) dissolved in 20 ml of CH3OH. The resulting mixture was
heated at 80 °C for 10 min, then filtered and left for slow evapora-
tion at room temperature. The brown prismatic crystals were sep-
arated by filtration. Yield: 0.32 g, 40%. Anal. Found: Co, 10.64; C,
41.62; H, 4.86; N, 17.92. Calc. for C19H27N7O6CoCl (fw 801.38):
Co, 10.83; C, 41.96; H, 5.0; N, 18.03.
The product was characterized using elemental analysis, IR
spectroscopy, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, which confirmed
the formation of a cycle composed of five atoms: three carbon
atoms of acetylacetone and two nitrogen atoms of the isonicotinic
hydrazide fragment, which is in agreement with the formulas in
Scheme 1.
